Unterland

The terrain of Unterland ranges from the level Rhine Valley in its west to the wooded rise of the Eschnerberg in its east, concentrating farms and settlements on the ground between them. This northern part of Liechtenstein includes Ruggell, Schellenberg, Gamprin, Eschen and Mauren, with the Rhine forming the border with Switzerland. The Ruggeller Riet, a protected wetland on the valley floor, preserves an uncommon expanse of reed beds and peatland. Above the plain, the ruins of the castles at Schellenberg recall the area’s medieval settlement history. Its compact communities maintain a distinctly rural counterpoint to Vaduz farther south.
